Fenway Health was one of the leading AIDS clinics in the country and focuses on LGBTQ health. So this is a big deal.

Demonstrating once again that, by holding that partisan gerrymandering is a nonjusticiable “political question,” SCOTUS set up a situation in which voters and their representatives are essentially punished in Congress if they choose to run their own states fairly.

North Carolina Republicans announced today they’re going to pass a new congressional map to draw a Dem out of Congress; they already did last cycle, going from 7-7 to 10-4. Thus would be 11-3. t.co/XLJIhe8vZn

That is absolutely amazing.

But the Court made sure to retain ample discretion for when a future president tries to flex this power.

I’ve been waiting for them to start talking about trying to stop the planned 10/18 protests.

Americans - if you are inclined to and able to, get out to a protest on 10/18. Peacefully exercise your Constitutional rights, to speak, to assemble, to seek redress of grievances, to live as free people.

America is not strong enough to survive without Dolly Parton holding us up via gravity-defying hairspray.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

I grew up with relatives who voted for LaGuardia. Never heard them pronounce it that way.

Or flip it around - would you take the risk on yourself and pay the lawyer an hourly fee, given what you could recover versus the risk you could lose?

"Hours after government funding lapsed, the Patent and Trademark Office began firing personnel, according to an internal email and interviews with staff. The fired personnel are people in business support units, such as communications, according to the staffers NOTUS spoke with."

Anna Kramer @annackramer.bsky.social · 13d

NEWS: Government layoffs are coming in the next few days, sources tell us. Preparation is underway at the agencies, and RIFs have already started at the US Patent Office.

White House is blaming Dems for the firings, even though nothing about a shutdown requires mass firings.
